Conservation of Mass

Mass is always conserved in chemical reactions.

mass of the reactants = mass of the products

\
Why might a mass change in a reaction if this is the case?

\

  1. Mass increase
  • One of the reactants is a gas found in the air

\

  1. Mass decrease
  • The reactants make a gas, which ends up escaping
